Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To promote excellence in the legal profession and to facilitate equal access to justice.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The primary programs provided by ACBA include: Lawyer Referral Service, Criminal Court Appointed Attorneys Program (CAAP) and Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.

  • Court Appointed Attorney Program (CAAP): We provided criminal defense representation to Alameda County defendants with whom the Public Defender had a conflict.In 2023 we placed about 2,500 new cases with about 60 attorneys on our panel, who together put in roughly tens of thousands of hours defending the indigent.Our social worker program for juvenile defendants also continues to flourish.Two years ago, we launched a social worker program to help connect attorneys representing adults with social workers and that program is thriving. We are connecting the adults our attorneys represent with more social workers than ever before.

    Expenses $7,854,837 · Revenue $6,877,905

  • Membership & Other Programs:In 2023 we had 1,300 members, and we provided those members with about 126 Mandatory Continuing Legal Education programs. In addition, we carried out a variety of other programs including community projects and a forum for legal service providers to share knowledge and expertise and help improve the delivery of legal services in Alameda County.

    Expenses $541,276 · Revenue $326,832

  • Lawyer Referral Service (LRS):In 2023, our Lawyer Referral Service referred 1,376 clients to 81 attorneys on our panel. Callers not placed generally were given other community resources and referrals. The LRS also conducted intake for the free clinics run by the related organization, Legal Access Alameda.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
